Of Practical Importance

By Editor

To the many readers of the REVIEW who are desirous of following the principles of healthful living we shall present through its columns during the coming year matter that will be of the utmost importance. The subject of healthful living has been greatly neglected by our people through lack of appreciation of its importance, ignorance of its fundamental principles, or lack of instruction.
Some, no doubt, feel that they have injured their stomachs in trying to live “hygienically,” or have found the preparation of healthful menus too laborious. Those who have failed in their efforts at dietetic reform will have an opportunity to learn the fundamental principles of healthful living. The REVIEW will publish a series of lessons prepared by Brother F. O. Raymond, of the Washington Branch Santarium, in which this whole subject will be taken up in a simple, practical, and thorough manner.
In these lessons will appear a series of typical menus, which can be simplified or elaborated according to the need. Recipes will be given for those dishes which may be unfamiliar to the ordinary housewife, and the principles of hygienic cooking involved in their preparation will be fully discussed. In many of the lessons full directions will be given for the making of some one kind of prepared health food.
An important feature of these lessons will be the illustration of how hygienic meals can be prepared from the common foods in households that can not afford the manufactured articles.
The recipes will be those only that have been thoroughly tested. The menus will illustrate the choosing of foods which together supply the various food elements required by the body. The lessons will be similar to those given to the nurses and patients of the Washington Branch Sanitarium.
We hope that a representative of every family of REVIEW readers will study and put into practise these lessons; that our young people also will master the subject for practical use. It would be well if every church would have its cooking class, that the principles of healthful living might be more generally adopted.
